Using T-Net's photo-enlargement option seems to show that the small end of the straight part has a broken-open loop on it. (Is that what you are calling a "hook"?) If that is indeed what your photo shows, it means your find is definitely half of a broken snaffle bit, a type of horse bit. Compare yours with a complete one, whose loop is intact, in the photo below.
Actually, the loop connects with another loop on the other half of the bit, but you can't quite see that in the photo.
